WIDOW
SEEKS INSURANCE
Husband Was Inmate of the
Veteran's Hospital At

Spokane A world war veteran's
widow who worked for a living while
her husband tried to fight off anat
tack of tuberculosis today sought to
recover insurance money Bhe asserted
was paid to a nurse who posed as the
man's wife.
' Mrs. Clara Johnson of Seattle,
.Wash., told county officers that she
'married Charles Johnson just before
he left for France in 1917. Two years
later after his discharge he contract
ed tuberculosis and they went to live
in the desert in Arizona. When it
was seen that Charles needed care in
a hospital, -the veteran was sent to
Walla Walla.
"As it was evident' that he would
be discharged soon," Mrs. Johnson
said, "I stayed in Seattle and worked.
He came to see me often, but would
not let me come to Walla Walla be
cause he was afraid our daughter
would take the disease."
"A year ago," she continued,
"Charles was returned to Arizona. I
had just saved enough money to go
down there and visit him when I
saw a notice in a Seattle paper tel
ling of his funeral." " .

An investigation disclosed, . she
added, that Mrs. Agnes Russell, a
nurse who had once cared for him,
posed as his wife ; and collected his
insurance money after she had re
turned the body to Seattle and buried
it there.
Mrs. Russell, employed in a sani
tarium here, Frank Funkhouser,
deputy county prosecutor said, ad
mitted in answer to questions that
she was "both Mrs. Agnes Russell

Portland To Chicago;
A 61 Hour Service
Portland. A. S. Edmonds, assistant
traffic manager of the Union Pacific
railroad, announces that on June 9
that road, in conjunction with the
Chicago and Northwestern, would in
augurate a 61 hour train from Port
land to Chicago, eclipsing by two
hours the time planned by any other
road serving the Pacific "northwest.
The return trip from Chicago to
Portland will be made in 62 hours,
45 minutes. The announcement was
made through Edmonds from Carl R.
Gray, Union Pacific president.
On March 9 the Great Northern
railroad . announced it would replace
the existing 68 hour train with a 63
hour passenger service sometime this
summer. All other railroads im
mediately announced intention of
quickening time from the east, but
the Union Pacific decision is the first
starting date established.
Intimations that the Great Nor
thern railway may meet the 61 hour
transcontinental train running be
tween Portland and Chicago as an
nounced at Portland by the Union
Pacific, were contained . in a' state
ment issued by Ralph Budd, president
of the Great Northern when informed
of the Portland report.
Eastern Washington
.: Hay Situation Acute
Eastern Washington hay growers
and operators elaborated on previous
testimoney of the lack of profits in
hay growing and the financial condi
tion of farmers at third day of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
hearing at Seattle of the proposed
62 per cent increase in hay rates.
It is better to lease hay growing
land in the Yakima Indian reserva
tion, comprising 65,000 acres of ir
rigated land, than to own farms in
that territory outright, Cliff Elliott,
of WapatO, testified. He said he own
ed 80 acres and leased a like amount
on the reservation.
The Feed Dealers' association of
Washington is to submit evidence
Monday denying allegations of rail
roads that feed dealers absorb large
profits. Leading western Washington
dairymen and representatives of dis
tributors are also expected to take
the stand in opposition to the pro
posed rate increase,
